Racist, racist, racist. That's what I hear from those opposed to America enforcing its immigration laws. Americans who want orderly immigration are simply racist they say. Who are behind these cries of racism though? I'm sure after hearing this for many, many years - from those behind the illegal immigration movement and those who put the marches together through our streets - there are some Americans who think those opposed to illegal aliens and illegal immigration are all connected in some sort of cabal or joint racist organizations headed up by Nazi's and white supremacists.

Of course if this were true it would be on the front page of every Liberal paper in this country. For most of these Liberal media operations are in favor of illegal immigration and amnesty for those already here.

Before you jump the gun and start believing what you hear repeated over and over let's take a little examination of the groups behind this slanderous language. There is an article in Human Events that sums it up pretty well and exposes the groups behind the marches and the calls of racism.

It is past time for all Americans to know what is at the root of this outrageous behavior, and the extent to which the nation is at risk because of "La Raza" -- The Race.

There are many immigrant groups joined in the overall "La Raza" movement. The most prominent and mainstream organization is the National Council de La Raza -- the Council of "The Race".

To most of the mainstream media, most members of Congress, and even many of their own members, the National Council of La Raza is no more than a Hispanic Rotary Club.

But the National Council of La Raza succeeded in raking in over $15.2 million in federal grants last year alone, of which $7.9 million was in U.S. Department of Education grants for Charter Schools, and undisclosed amounts were for get-out-the-vote efforts supporting La Raza political positions.

The Council of La Raza succeeded in having itself added to congressional hearings by Republican House and Senate leaders. And an anonymous senator even gave the Council of La Raza an extra $4 million in earmarked taxpayer money, supposedly for "housing reform," while La Raza continues to lobby the Senate for virtual open borders and amnesty for illegal aliens.

That's right, US taxpayers are behind the funding of these marches through our streets. The government has wrongly given these organizations monies based on false claims and it was then turned around and used to circumvent our laws and to influence our policy.

"Well, those statements above aren't racist at all, maybe it's some fraudulent behavior but it's not racism, so what are you getting at Digger?" you might ask. Well here's your answer.

The section on MEChA - an organizer of the marches through our streets.

Key among the secondary organizations is the radical racist group Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, or Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan (MEChA), one of the most anti-American groups in the country, which has permeated U.S. campuses since the 1960s, and continues its push to carve a racist nation out of the American West.

One of America's greatest strengths has always been taking in immigrants from cultures around the world, and assimilating them into our country as Americans. By being citizens of the U.S. we are Americans first, and only, in our national loyalties.

This is totally opposed by MEChA for the hordes of illegal immigrants pouring across our borders, to whom they say:

"Chicano is our identity; it defines who we are as people. It rejects the notion that we...should assimilate into the Anglo-American melting pot...Aztlan was the legendary homeland of the Aztecas ... It became synonymous with the vast territories of the Southwest, brutally stolen from a Mexican people marginalized and betrayed by the hostile custodians of the Manifest Destiny." (Statement on University of Oregon MEChA Website, Jan. 3, 2006)

MEChA isn't at all shy about their goals, or their views of other races. Their founding principles are contained in these words in "El Plan Espiritual de Aztlan" (The Spiritual Plan for Aztlan):

"In the spirit of a new people that is conscious not only of its proud historical heritage but also of the brutal gringo invasion of our territories, we, the Chicano inhabitants and civilizers of the northern land of Aztlan from whence came our forefathers, reclaiming the land of their birth and consecrating the determination of our people of the sun, declare that the call of our blood is our power, our responsibility, and our inevitable destiny. ... Aztlan belongs to those who plant the seeds, water the fields, and gather the crops and not to the foreign Europeans. ... We are a bronze people with a bronze culture. Before the world, before all of North America, before all our brothers in the bronze continent, we are a nation, we are a union of free pueblos, we are Aztlan. For La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada."

That closing two-sentence motto is chilling to everyone who values equal rights for all. It says: "For The Race everything. Outside The Race, nothing."

If these morally sickening MEChA quotes were coming from some fringe website, Americans could at least console themselves that it was just a small group of nuts behind it. Nearly every racial and ethnic group has some shady characters and positions in its past and some unbalanced individuals today claiming racial superiority and demanding separatism. But this is coming straight from the official MEChA sites at Georgetown University, the University of Texas, UCLA, University of Michigan, University of Colorado, University of Oregon, and many other colleges and universities around the country.

Mainstream racism, in your face...

So what does this have to do with La Raza?

Members of these radical, anti-American, racist organizations are frequently smoothly polished into public respectability by the National Council of La Raza.

Former MEChA members include Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who was officially endorsed by La Raza for mayor and was awarded La Raza's Graciela Olivarez Award. Now we know why he refuses to condemn a sea of foreign flags in his city. California Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante is also a former MEChA member. He delivered the keynote address at La Raza's 2002 Annual Convention.

The National Council of La Raza and its allies in public office make no repudiation of the radical MEChA and its positions. In fact, as recently as 2003, La Raza was actively funding MEChA, according to federal tax records.

...

La Raza defenders usually respond by calling anyone making these allegations "a racist" for having called attention to La Raza's racist links.

So, the easiest way to fool the public into thinking that you are not a full fledged racist group is to accuse the other side of being racist.

Good Job digger,
Why isn't the Souther poverty law center getting involved in this. This is a clear demonstration that this is a racist hate group along the same lines as the KKK but only a notch higher. These groups are also seditionist groups.
The Southern Poverty Law Center's Intelligence Project monitors hate groups and extremist activity in the United States they should be on top of these murderous hate groups.

It is an outrage that the civil rights division of the DOJ is not prosecuting these groups, but instead our government funds them. Do you think our government is funding other hate groups like the KKK also?

We need people like you and others to file criminal complaints with the DOJ and other agencies to see if we can get our elected officials to at least stop using our money to fund these hate groups.

That is so strange, Mark. I had that same realization yesterday! Where is the SPLC on this, hmmmmm? I will contact them to see what their excuse is, if they reply at all.

This nice little piece of Mexi-racist revolutionary propaganda was published over at La Voz de Aztlan (The voice of Atzlan). This is one of the major front groups for the Atzlan Nation movement.

I think It would be very unwise to ignore the danger that a subversive group like this represents to America. They have been one of the big backers and lobbies for S. 1348 along with La Raza(the race).

Immigrant Rights Movement's next phase
is non-cooperation and civil disobedience

Ernesto Cienfuegos
La Voz de Aztlan

Los Angeles, Alta California - June 5, 2007 - (ACN) The so called "raging debate" in congress on the Border Security and Immigration Reform Act of 2007 (S. 1348) is irrelevant to the proponents of a liberated Aztlan. It does not matter what final form S. 1348 will take, the quest for real economic and social equality, justice, freedom and for the establishment of a true homeland, north of the border, will continue to exist. The degree of fervor in this quest for Aztlan will be proportional to the number of repressive measures that are included in the final immigration reform bill.

Professor Armando Navarro of the University of California at Riverside has addressed some of the potentially dangerous Senate Bill 1348 amendments which threaten the long term well-being of Mexicanos in Aztlan. Dr. Armando Navarro, author of the book, "The Mexicano Political Experience In Occupied Aztlan: Struggles And Change" declared yesterday that ". . . Mexicanos and Latinos must be prepared to once again go to the streets." Professor Navarro added, "Regardless what immigration reform is passed either in 2007 or in 2009 or in the future, the "immigration crisis" impacting the U.S. and the Western Hemisphere will not end without major economic change occurring within the "Neo-liberal" economic systems of the Western Hemisphere."

Professor Navarro points out that S. 1348 targets "brown" Mexico and not "white" Canada. It is a racist bill by a US Congress dominated by Anglos/Whites. It provides for a wall and enhances the "militarization" of the U.S./Mexico border only. Dr. Navarro says that in the proposed bill, "Mexico is treated as if it were an adversary of the U.S. It is not applicable to the U.S./Canadian 4,000 mile long border. Border enforcement provisions are paradoxical indicators of a New Cold War ? this time directed at Mexico..."

Some aspects of Senate Bill 1348 threaten not just undocumented Mexicanos but also Mexican-Americans and those with legal resident status. Title II of the bill grants immigration enforcement authority to state and local police. This will worsen ethnic and racial profiling which will negatively impact all "brown" people regardless of their citizenship or immigration status. . In addition, the proposed implementation of an Electronic Employment Verification System (EEVS) will greatly increase the opportunity for certain employers to discriminate against Americans of Mexican descent. Job applicants with a Spanish surname or with "brown skin" would be required to present documents proving legal status but not Whites.more here

You should take a look this site. They are not bashful about stating their desire to take over the Southwest US for Atzlan. It is full of anti-American and anti-Zionist propaganda. They openly embrace all of America's enemies. They are the racists.

Personally, I would classify any of the La Raza political movements out there as racist and at the least sympathetic to our nation's interests. However, I'm not sure how meaningful a discussion like this will be in say 70 years given the changing demographics. If we keep doing what we're doing, everything we love about the USA will be history.

The important thing to rememeber is in 1969 when Mecha and the rest of these Mestizo organizations arose, the Catholic Church was having to close its churches for lack of parishoners. But, then the Catholics remembered they had an abundance of parishoners just South of th Border, all they had to do was bring them here, and viola--no church closings!
And to beat it all Catholic Charities is the largest funded charity in the US with a direct funding of $100,000,000.00 annually from Congress and a gratuity of 10 to 15 percent from every Community Redevelopment Block Grant dollar distriuted at the County level. So, the poor poor immigrants who come here to work, are really here to make certain the Catholic Church and its many interests flourish.

I believe the USA should treat people who come into this country illegally, the same way Mexico treats people who enter their country without proper documentation. Go ahead, sneak into Mexico and try to get a job, try to get the Mexican Government to pay your for education, housing, daycare, legal fees and everything else the USA taxpayers are subsidizing for these people who are breaking the law. ‘La Raza’ is a racist group and anyone who cannot see that is blinded by something. I have lived in Texas all of my life, I know what I am talking about. I have many Mexican friends, ones that were born here or came into this country through proper channels. Wake up America; we are giving out country away.

This was a good article and I agree with everything in it. My sister was president of her mecha chapter in high school and she gets pissed when I tell her that mecha is racist and they are no more better than the kkk and the black panthers. My family think that I am racist against mexicans for the things I say, but I am not racist...if anything I am an american supremecist and being an american has no race and colour. I served in in the marines and my commarades were from all types of backrounds and we worked together and we looked after eachother, to me this is what america should be like. God bless america and God bless my brothers in arms, our troops who are fighting for our country and they proudly wear the american flag patch on their uniforms and chestriggs.

If one searches for "raza+racism", one finds a thinking so stilted as to relate its racist basis to its European-Christian element- essentially more gringo bashing (when "la raza" is half-gringo anyway: I've had a man tell me he was a "real mexican")- instead of the bare-faced brutal "chinga los gringos" bullying it really is...
So pliable has been the stupid gringo that a visit to a raza-specific job site, latpro.com, shows that among the companies dedicated to "diversity and inclusion" are the Defense Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency. I feel so safe in my homeland now, thanks.
What's so secure about giving your nation to those who would kill its founders (see "kill the gringos" and the high-profile professional so said it)?

La Raza is obviously the voice of today's movement of Brown Supremacy. Their slogan clearly states "For The Race Everything and Nothing For Outside The Race." La Raza and Liberal Media fear Hispanic-Americans swearing allegiance to the USA and protecting the territorial integrity of the USA. La Raza and the Liberal Media want all Hispanic-Americans be brainwashed and serve as the 5th column for the "Reconquista" plot. You should see some of the speeches by Ron Gochez from the Union Del Barrio Charter School, he sounds like he is exactly like The Grand Wizard of the Hispanic Ku Klux Klan, but without the capes and hoods. The "Reconquista" plan will never happen. The people of Mexico need to defeat the Narco-Terrorists before world powers take Mexican politics and the Mexican Nation Seriously.

The 'RECONQUISTA" plan will never happen?

As long as people are still willing to believe it will "never happen," they will be complacent and that is precisely the reason it will happen.

Many U.S.A. Politicians are working towards the goal of a GLOBAL GOVERNMENT and most have NEVER "represented" their own citizens for a very, very long time.....Especially if they belong to the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations), the Trilateral Commission, the Skull-Bones Society, Freemasonry, any Jewish group or who have attended the Bohemian Grove and any BILDERBERG Meetings.

The NAU (NORTH AMERICAN UNION)-SPP (SECURITY and PROSPERITY PARTNERSHIP.

The NAU-SPP plan is to MERGE: Canada, the USA and Mexico together....The NAU-SPP is being piggybacked onto the RECONQUISTA-AZTLAN Plan.

This is part of a GLOBAL GOVERNMENT Scheme to ABOLISH SOVEREIGNITY and Merge the nations into blocs. The E.U. (European Union) was the first and we're next with the NAU-SPP.

This is why we have: UNSECURED BORDERS, unenforced Immigration laws, USA CIIZENS are forced to pay for ILLEGAL ALIENS and why Treasonous Politicians refuse to end BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP of the ANCHOR BABIES born to Illegal Aliens and force E-VERIFY on all Employers.

This all goes on why our Politicians perpetually harangue us about "TERRORISM" and that's why ILLEGAL ALIENS are held at such a greatly elevated status above LEGAL USA CITIZENS and this NAU-SPP is why ILLEGAL ALIENS are treated like such SACRED COWS.

Q TO ILLEGAL ALIENS: Why do you trust any U.S.A. POLITICIAN so eager to destroy their own nation and betray their own citizens?

Shouldn't this TREASONOUS and TREACHEROUS behavior by U.S.A. Politicians be raising a red flag to you? I would think most normal people would be alarmed and wondering what's going on. These USA POLITICIANS have a specific goal and are not doing this for no reason and eventually a price tag is going to come due. Are you really sure you and your children are willing to pay the price for your role in all this? Think about that very carefully. You might not like that price tag after all, but by then, it'll be too late.
